Hi,

I keep getting undefined method `scaffold’ for EventsController:Class  
error method even though everything seems to be defined in my project. I  
was wondering if someone can explain to me what the problem is? I’m  
using ubuntu 8.10 with ruby 1.8.7 and rails 2.2.2.

My Steps:

1. rails events
2. Created DB projects
3. ./script/generate model Event
4. configured db/migrate/####\_create\_events.rb file by adding columns
5. rake db:migrate
6. ./script/generate controller events
7. configured: app/controllers/events\_controller.rb file

class EventsController \< ApplicationController  
scaffold :event  
end  
8) ran webrick with url: [http://localhost:3000/events](http://localhost:3000/events) and got the  
message below

NoMethodError in EventsController#index

undefined method `scaffold’ for EventsController:Class

RAILS\_ROOT: /home/mrmaster/Desktop/events  
Application Trace | Framework Trace | Full Trace

app/controllers/events\_controller.rb:2

This is not how scaffold works anymore ! ( and not for a few releases  
now!  
Suggest you take a look at some of the more recent tutorials and/or  
check out the more recent release notes for this and the past few  
releases…  
Check this one for a starter -
